Cryptography in computer network security is the process of protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access when it is at rest or in transit by rendering it unreadable without a key. Leveraging encryption, cryptography helps users secure data transmission over networks, ensuring that only individuals with designated keys can access encrypted data.
What is Data Encryption?
Encryption Technology uses mathetmatical algorithms to protect information from prying eyes, both while in transit on a network and while on a system. This encrypted data is unintelligeble to anyone who does not have access to the corresponding decryption key, this allows data to be shared over a network and on a system securely.
